All parties understand $ even if Policy is not what they do. So throw $ at Indigenous to fill in the Gap with money. Throw money and you get subs and planes , sometimes . With the streets rapidly filling with homeless and commuters dying in car-jams in blackout cities and abandoned hospitals with dodgy subs stranded in hundreds on beaches then $ for deposit is on. Most MPs can easily remember the catchy slogan "dollars for deposit" and if not they should.

Follow the experts solution get a better paying job. It,s that simple. Problem solved.

The deposit was always a problem.

I can remember when men and women saved for a block of land in a far new suburb.

When they were settling on a life together the pressure was on and all discretionary expenditure ceased.

The house, bought well after marriage, was 'blessed' by the bank with the necessary personal loan to make up the last gap and mortgage insurance, probably.

A small 3BR with small built-ins in two rooms hopefully and a carport, a roof on stilts, if lucky. Old donated sheets for curtains, a few bits of mismatched secondhand furniture and none of the essentials of today.

Then things really got tight..

An idea for addressing housing affordability? How to curtail the expensive, absorbing technology would be step 1. But is that possible?
